I don't think a "decision" is made to push the young males out from the coalition or the pride. As the young males start demanding the respect of an adult, the adults start treating them as adults which kind of weakens the bond over time. The males especially will start seeing the actions of their sons as a challenge when they stop behaving like submissive subadults, at some point independence becomes the more favorable option compared to constantly being pushed around by the males and slapped around by the females who are busy with the next generation of litters. For young males that are confident in themselves, that point of when independence becomes the better option comes a lot sooner compared to let's a lone young male who will stick around as long as possible knowing what awaits him out there.

Did you read the comment I was responding to? That comment was more of my injecting some humor, than to be taken seriously.
Btw, I agree with you, on all of it, I don't think there is a decision made either, if in fact lions are even capable of making a decision.

I've seen several people state that they're with him but haven't been able to find any photos/videos of them yet. I'm on the lookout though, will share if I come across anything.

RE: Lions of Timbavati - Mwk85 - 03-12-2024
Unfortunate news on the Avoca Pride. From the original six (6) cubs only two (2) now remain, from what I've read it seems that the pride has only been making small kills lately and those kills that are made have in turn been taken by the three (3) Black Dam males, leaving not enough for the females to generate a sufficient amount of milk for the cubs.
*video is from when the five remaining cubs were all alive*

Btw. it is said by Shindzela guide that it is one of the Birmingham breakaway females so it seems that those two guys are challanging Ross males now.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Brahim - 03-13-2024
The guys there said that White Birmingham male wasn't alone his bros were with him. Not seen pics though.

Wow, so happy to see these guys after so long. They look great!!
BYM's mane at the top is more bushy now. Thank you for the pics bud!!
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Tr1x24 - 03-19-2024
Rumors are that apperantly Avoca young male, partner of Guernsey male and son of Mapoza was killed by Mbiri males.
2 boys are seen in Ngala for months, roaring and messing with both Ross and Mbiri males and their prides.
Lets wait and see if its true.
